Superman Smashes the Klan

[Electricmastro]

Well, the story smashes the klan doesn't shy away from it. Does it? It shows the klan members nephew turning a new leaf. didn't it? There is redemption for those that seek it. Some just become idealogues or extremists with out a mind of their own. Even talking to them would be like talking to brick wall. They are so convinced with the idea so much so that they would die for it. And it also depends on the approach. If you use the "hey! Kids" nonsense, that permeated superman.With superman talking to people like he is above it all. Yeah! That's just bad. Thankfully, superman talks to everyone, even the kids with out it and as one of the.So, there is that.

I’ve found it’s easier to motivate kids to change their ways than adults. With many adults, it can be too late to change them, but kids are relatively more impressionable, and that the foolishly stubborn adults who refuse to change their ways for the better can at the least be used as examples to teach kids on how not to live their lives. Considering the Hitler Youth, toddlers being dressed up in KKK outfits, and the like, it’s times like that when I say “it all starts with the children” and that even if it’s too late for the current generation, there’s always the next generation of children who, if anything, should be encouraged to leave the world a better place than how they found it, not worse.

As a guy who is stubborn and bullheaded, i know what you mean. I think it's crucial that kids keep their flexibility, even into adulthood. The ability to change your mind with proper evidence can be a great gift. But, ultimately we can't force them to grow this way or that way and make them dependent on you as moral figure. If they choose to, they will learn more from what your actions are and the impact of that on the world. Kids can become the lights of their own backyard, not take it from the sun.but, Its ultimately their choice.

Wow there are people in the comment of that Youtube video who really hate the art style for some reason.

They have no taste, Gurihuru is great! Much better than the Jim Lee clone house style DC usually has.

That art style works perfectly for the younger audiences. Many, if not most, of the YA or younger graphic novels use cleaner and cartoony art styles like SSTK. It's not my favorite, personally, but I definitely thought it worked very very well here. Beyond something akin to New Frontier, like a Doc Shaner, I don't think a more modern realistic style would have worked at all.

Well on the subject of what you said, seems like this black parole officer thought differently then:

That's a great story. Always nice to see someone amend their ways.

But punching racists is still a completely viable and acceptable choice.

[Hypestyle]

so will the mini series be adapted into an animated special?

Luffy agrees.

Luffy agrees.

Indeed. Also a shout out to the lesson the fishman kids learned at Fishman Island!

Seems like a foregone conclusion at this point, but it will probably take a few years for it to get made.

Direct market sales don’t really matter for these kinds of books since they’re aimed at kids. I hope it sells well too, I really want Yang to get a Black Label Superman book. If SSTK sells well in trades maybe that’s possible.

I think shops should already be getting copies, Brad Anderson posted a pic of his comps.

Is there any specific reason you think that, or just really hoping that it'll happen? (No judgement if it's nothing but hope, just want to know if I missed any hints or rumors or anything.)

No specific reasons, but whenever a Superman story comes around that is so instantly beloved and embraced by the fans, DC Animation tends to take notice and adapt it. Not only does the art style lend itself to animation, but the story is a perfect one and done that could easily be condensed into 90 minutes.

Pretty much every big Superman story since the mid-90s has been adapted, so I think Superman Smashes The Klan is a shoe-in.

[Gurz]

The hard cover is out fo stock at everywhere :/

[Ascended]

That's good. Means people are ordering it.

Well, I'd assume that's what it means. At this point who the hell knows if shops are getting what they normally would/should.
